How to keep my cake from crumbling! HELP???!!!?

I’m baking my wedding cake and I’m very good with fondant and decorating but when it comes to the cake I have a problem! When I cut into it the cake crumbles and falls apart! I’m trying a new recipe for marshmellow fondant and am going to see if it cuts easier and helps with the crumbling.

Also I’ve been using box cake mix if that matters. This afternoon my friend and I are getting together to make a practice cake!

Please any advice on making my cake stick together when I cut it? Thanks!

Do I need to grease a bunt pan if the recipe doesn’t say to or not?

Cookie made out of cake with a stick that looks like a sucker?

I’m looking for a recipe of cookies that are made out of cake. They have a stick on them so they look like suckers. Just a regular cake mix made like the box says wont work because the cake is to soft. I had these many years ago when I was a child at school for someones birthday party. Now I am wanting to make them for my sons school birthday party this Wed. I hope someone out there can help me with this. Thanks bunches!!
I dont believe cake pops are what I’m looking for. Before I asked this question I search cake popsicles, cake cookie on a stick, cake pops (which brought up cake on a stick in the shape of a ball). What I am talking about looks like those big flat suckers you buy at a candy store.

I need a good buttercream fondant recipe – please help?

I am making a cake which i will cover with marshmallow fondant icing.

How do I make Mom’s Apple Buckle?

Mom is 94 years old and has forgotten how she made the apple buckle we all grew-up on. All of my brothers and sisters have lost the recipe or are dead. I tried to re-create the recipe last night. The flavor is right, but the texture was a little too similar to a crumbly cake. Mom’s recipe was deep-dish in a baking pan with a crispy top and a batter that became almost bread-like. There was no brown sugar topping such as on many buckles. I do not know where she learned how to make it. She never referred to a recipe, so it was probably from my Grandma on the farm in Danish southwestern Wisconsin. Mom and Dad were also a leaders in PEO, 4-H, Boy Scouts, as well as Methodist and Lutheran churches, so the recipe may originate from those sources as well.

My experimental recipe:

1 stick melted butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
0.5 c. milk
2 t. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon

I blended-in the dry ingredients:

1.5 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
4 sliced MacIntosh apples

I baked for 1-1.5 hours at 350° to golden brown.

Which ingredient should I increase slightly to make my apple dessert a little more bread-like and less crumbly and cake-like in texture?
Sugar Pie ~ you are correct that buckle and cobbler are close relatives ~ I never thought of butter beneath batter ~ I am sure that Mom did not make dessert in that manner ~ I think that I am going to try another half-cup of flour next time to stiffen the batter ~ I may have created more of a cake with all of that butter ~ also, Mom is an egg fanatic who always doubled the eggs in recipes ~ furthermore, Mom is a buttermilk fanatic, also may have used something like a concentrated canned milk in recipes, so that may have made a difference in the texture. Quite a mystery. I know that I am close. My result looked almost identical to Mom’s apple dessert. The top was perfect, a little like a sugary bread crust instead of a cake. I do not believe these are normally yeast breads, although her cinnamon rolls were also amazing.
Should I cut back on the butter? Increase the flour? Increase the milk? Double the eggs?
What makes a cake more bread-like in texture? Does anyone understand the chemistry of cooking?
I did more research and came up with a note on cake structure. I will experiment further:

When baking cake mixes at high altitudes, follow altitude adjustments given on the box. Adjustments usually strengthen cells of the cake with addition of all-purpose flour, egg yolk, or liquid.

I think that I refined the recipe by adding more flour, milk, and baking powder. I reduced the fat and replaced the butter with olive oil to minimize saturated fat. I baked my new recipe, which turned-out well and satisfied my nieces and nephews who finished it off in a few minutes.

Ingredients:

0.25 c. Olive Oil
2 T. Wisconsin Butter (For Greasing Ovenware)
1 c. Wisconsin Milk
1 c. Sugar
2 Eggs
2 t. Vanilla Extract
0.5 t. Cinnamon
2 t. Baking Powder
2 c. Flour
6 MacIntosh Apples

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F while stirring together olive oil, milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gradually add flour and baking powder until a flowing batter develops, similar to pancake batter.

Slice apples and place in two butter-coated Pyrex dishes, about seven-inch by four-inch, or one deep glass or ceramic baking dish. Go ahead and sneak a few slices of apple during the coring process. Mom always did. Pour buckle batter over the apples. Apple Buckle derives its na

How to make vegan biscuits?

I recently discovered a recipe for simply a cake mix using soda pop to replace the eggs and other things that are added, and made the best cake I have ever had, and completely vegan too! I was wondering if anyone would know if this same method would work for making biscuits with Bisquick (which PETA says is vegan under its I Can’t Believe its Vegan page.) using maybe a small amount of club soda or something similar to make them moist and fluffy? Thanks.
Oh yum that sounds great! That would go well with the pot of soup I just made….

help with my narrative essay?

OKAY SO THIS IS MY ESSAY I NEED BRUTAL TRUTH HERE PLEASE………….I FEEL THAT MY INTO IS VERY POOR AND MY CONCLUSION IS INCOMPLETE……….ANY TIPS/ HELP/ADVICE OR IDES U CAN GIVE WOULD BE GREAT THANKS XOXO

As long as I can remember I have took much pleasure from baking. In my early childhood I found it an exciting treat, to this day it still stirs that emotion in me. In this narrative essay I highlight my reasons to why it continues to be a big part of my life.
My first memories of baking is with my Nana pops, my maternal grandmother, who I seem to remember was always in the kitchen. An uncomplicated woman, she was in every sense the ‘perfect’ housewife, who favoured to use traditional tools for the job. Every Saturday she would get out her fantastic, old fashioned, emerald green scales. As a young girl I would spend hours playing with the weights, delighting in being allowed to touch something so grown up. I was very fortunate to have two grandmothers who loved to bake, as is common with alot of their generation, and was often indulged in this glorious hobby.
Baking invokes such sweet memories for me and this is something I am keen to pass onto my son and godchildren. I enjoy nothing more than reaching for my nana’s old scales and baking with the children on a weekend. It is such a joy to see the delight in a child’s face when they taste their freshly baked bread or sweet chocolate cakes. My sons favourite is our chocolate crispy cakes, my own secret recipe, which we will make on many a night and eat in front of the fire while reading fairy tales.
I find baked goods are a gift that most people will enjoy and appreciate. I have found that children love to bake for adult family members, my son certainly does, and feel it is a gift that is solely from them. I often like to make friends and family members a birthday cake relevant to their interests. In the past I have made a range of cakes from a fantastic tardis for 30 to a spectacular fairytale castle. However I do not limit my baking to special occasions and will often make cakes and fresh bread when I have visitors. I feel there is no greater smell, than that of freshly baked food.
Like everyone I have my favourite recipes.I adore chocolate fudge cake, I must admit this is the one cake that will never last long in my house, but it proves very detrimental to my waste line. I delight in the smell of freshly baked bread, the mere thought makes my mouth water. I always enjoy freshly baked produce a lot more than mere shop bought items, maybe this is because the anticipation of the baking always seems to make it taste that much sweeter.
Although I adore baking and find it a very tranquil hobby I must admit it does suffer from one huge draw back, the washing up. I detest washing up, I find it bore some, irritating, tiring, in general a horrid chore. I vow to myself that when funds allow I will purchase a dish washer and know when that time comes that my house will always have a smell that invokes such stronger, idyllic childhood memories.
Baking truly is a part of me and has always been. It reminds me of simpler happy times, of a nana sadly gone and most of all stirring memories of times gone by. I feel that baking is a major part of my family and hope that when my son grows it will be a passion that he will pass on to his own children.
hiya thanks for the answers so far, and none happen to be too brutal i perfer honesty, it is a very rough 1st go and i have never written an essay b4.

thank u again

2nd draft of my essay?

OK SO THIS IS MY SECOND DRAFT, BUT IT STILL DOESNT FEEL RIGHT, I CANT SEEM TO GET AN INTRO OR CONCLUTION RIGHT…… ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME THANKS

Baking has been a staple for family life for generations, unfourtunalty it seems to be on the decrease. I seem to be in a minority that still enjoys baking. As long as I can remeber I have taken so much pleasure from baking. In my early childhood I found it an exciting treat, to this day it still envokes that emotion in me. I will take you through my childhood memories to what part baking still has in my life.
My first memories of baking is with my Nana Pops, my maturnal grandmother, who I seem to remember was always in the kitchen. An uncomplicated woman, she was in every sense the ‘perfect’ housewife, who favored traditional tools for the job. Every Saturday she would get out her fantasic, old fashioned, emrald green scales. As a young girl I would spend hours playing with the weights, delighting in being allowed to touch something I saw as grown up. I was very fourtunate to have two grandmothers who loved to bake, as is common with alot of thier generation, and would bake most weekends.
Baking hold many dear memories for me and this is something I am keen to pass onto my son and godchildren.

thoughts?!!

I feel like I’m becoming one of those “boring” carter moms..?

I’m talking about the ones who shop at Carters.. Old navy.. baby gap.. I spend my time getting excited about little recipes.

I used to be cool.

I found out this morning when I looked in the mirror and found myself wearing a cardigan with my hair in a ponytail, with my nose stud missing. Right before I logged on to a Christian mommy forum.

The first thing that popped into my head was. “omg. I looked up frugal recipes yesterday. I decided I wanted to decorate a cake by hand for fun. and the other day, and I was window shopping at gymboree while looking at the magazine babytalk.

Two years ago, I would have been listening to blue october, making hemp chokers, and shopping for clothes at soul flower. Do you ever feel like as a parent you’ve lost yourself in societys mumbo jumbo?

The other day I got irritated with a telemarketer and I said “I’m getting tired of these beaches and their sheets.” And there were no kids around.

is this a good party?

my daughter is turning 8 next month and we have a luau party planned for her and 18 friends/family. here are the details:

decorations:

front yard will have 2 signs that have pink flamingos on them holding signs that say “luau party”.

front walkway will be littered w/flowers and front door will have a poster on it w/a parrot and pink flamingo.

table w/have a real pineapple in the center w/balloons attached to it, hibiscus flowers will be hung all over the walls, and luau themed confetti will be on the table too.

her little sister will greet guests at the door and hand them their leis as they walk in.

each child will also get a plastic tiki drinking cup w/straws that have umbrellas attached to them.

FOOD:
-chicken teriyaki skewers (cooked on the grill)
-fruit skewers (balls of watermelon and canteloupe, kiwi, grapes, bananas,and strawberries) w/lemon and chocolate fruit dip
-mixed nuts
-luau party punch,juice,and water

CAKES (have to make 3 to accomodate everyone):

and 2 of these cakes:

http://www.cakethat.com.au/hula%20003t.jpg

after eating the snacks, the kids will be set up do their craft:

after this, it’s time to go outside to do water games (to let the craft dry)

BALLOON POP: there will be 2 kiddie pools set up w/water and balloons in them. kids will be divided into 2 teams and will take turns trying to sit on the balloons to pop them. first team finished wins.

SPRINKLER FREEZE: the kids will run around the yard while the water to 4 sprinklers is shut off. they have to freeze in place when water turns on and stay there until it shuts off again.

SLEEP PANTS RELAY: kids will be divided into 2 teams. there will be a bucket of water and 1 pair of my bf’s sleep pants for each team. they take turns dipping pants into water, putting them on then running around a cone and back. first team to finish wins.

they will then play the limbo and hit this pinata:

http://partycity.com/cgi-bin/parties/show.cgi?parties=Products&productstype=Characters&products=18001&&zoom=1

after the games, the kids will go inside, dry off and be given a grass skirt made w/green streamer strips and ribbon. we will then head back outside to take a group picture of everyone in their skirts and leis.

GOODIE BAGS:

each child will be given a sandbucket/shovel, stickers, candy from the pinata, and these toys:
